Anion Ordering and Phase Stability Govern Optical Band Gaps in BaZr(S,Se)3
Erik Fransson, Michael Xu, Prakriti Kayastha +6
Chalcogenide perovskites have emerged as promising lead free materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications. Among them, BaZrS3 has attracted particular attention due t…
Direct determination of antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition pathways in PbZrO with Operando Electron Microscopy
Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Louis Alaerts +5
Under a sufficiently high applied electric field, a non-polar antiferroelectric material, such as \ce{PbZrO3}, can undergo a rapid transformation to a polar ferroelectric phase. Wh…
Additively manufacturable high-strength aluminum alloys with thermally stable microstructures enabled by hybrid machine learning-based design
S. Mohadeseh Taheri-Mousavi, Michael Xu, Florian Hengsbach +8
Additively manufactured (AM) aluminum alloys with high strength and thermal stability have broad applications in turbine engines, vacuum pumps, heat exchangers, and many other indu…
Insights into Chemical and Structural Order at Planar Defects in a Functional Oxide Using Multislice Electron Ptychography
Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Yu Yun +7
Switchable order parameters in ferroic materials are essential for functional electronic devices, yet disruptions of the ordering can take the form of planar boundaries or defects…
